I create art to express myself when I can’t find words. I create art to destress myself from the world around me.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
My art varies from different kind of styles but mainly I would say it’s in the animation style. I love to draw and paint more anime/manga genres and even comic art style. I’ve always been into animated art.
Where do you find inspiration?I find my inspiration in what emotion I am feeling and what/who I love. My inspiration comes from my father who also is an artist. He taught me his way of art and with his knowledge I found my own style and own voice in my artwork. My inspiration comes a lot from the world and fueled by my emotions.
What would you do with $25,000?I am currently a student at CSU Bakersfield and will be earning my degree in Fall 2026, if I win the money will be used to pay off my student loans. Along with help with my masters program that I’m wanting to pursue. The money would help me with the weight on my shoulders waiting for me after I graduate.
